Ah! It's great to be back in the battlereporting business. After successfully
faking my sickness (hehehe, well, I actually was sick..for 20 mins), I
get to present to you, my first battlereport in 1 month! So let's get
underway to the game! What are we waiting for??!
The place of battle for our 2 contestants today, {t4r}KronosIII (Krono)
and Drnogame (heh, how optimistic) is acropolis.
Let's have an introduction to the two players. Well for one, Krono,
I don't know very well, so I'm not exactly to comment on his personal life, such as
what kind of beer he drinks every day, but... I can tell you that I've watched him
play as terran and, boy, he...er...( I hope he doesn't have a machine gun
waiting to pelt my hide) ya, sux. The positive thing I can tell you about
Krono is that he has a great sense of humor.
Drnogame on the other hand, I don't know much about either,
but he's a fairly decent player and according to my knowledge, he said his
best races were toss and terran. My fellow observer and collegue,
$$owned$$ (owned) actually could have played
a very important role in this game as you will see if you care to read on.
This matchup between the two players began actually on rivalry with Krono as
terran and the good doctor as toss. The match was horrible since krono got his
sorry terran ass beaten like a pinata, I offered a rematch but this time,
the two players' races in reverse. Therefore, Krono
warps in his protoss fleet at the right middle, while Drnogame
crashes in his terran command center at the top middle. Although this goes
against the rule of Battlereporting, I didn't pay attention to build orders
because I was busy trying to slaughter all of owned's
SCV's with mine..hehe.
It was pretty evident what Drnogame was going
for M&M's, since he DID blurt out of nowhere, "Ah screw heavy metal, I trust the rines." During the
course of the game, he created 4 barracks (and later a 5th he never used) and pumped marines and medics
like a madman. Krono, on the other hand,
I couldn't make out what the hell he was doing. He got 2 gates, then a cybernetics core, then a forge,
then I think more gates, then an expansion, and finally a templar archives (or something like that
since I didn't pay attention)
but he never kept on producing troops. Then, a brilliant idea came into
my mind...
Yep ladies and gentlemen, I decided to do the nefarious plan of landing
my CC inside his base and block his ability to build structures near his pylons.
This, of course, then provoked a few "controlled" anger remarks from
Krono, as in, "Hey! Get out of here! GET I SAY! GET!" Hehehe. (Next time you ppl
let me observe, you better make sure you use an obs. map =P). Quite a while ago, owned said
he had enough of watching newbies play decided to take matters into his
own hands... he floats his CC over to bottom left island and starts a base there. He informs
me that he intends to go wraiths and BC's to rape protoss. Now, I would have done this too
had I not been so stupid to kill all my scvs and then use the 50 minerals and attack owned's
4 scvs with my one.
Both players (the ones that were participating in the 1v1) decided to expand
at this time and were continuing to mind their own little business, when all of a sudden...owned
.........................................disconnected (damn I thought I got you there. No, he didn't have time to
mass his wraith army..hehe). Ack. Oh well, poor owned.
Now anyways, at this time, Drnogame decided that
he had had enough of this nonsense and made a decision to put this game to
end once and for all! Mobilizing his army of about 4 or 5 control groups of marines
and 1 control group of medics, he stormed into the protoss expansion, which was lightly defended and was
easily razed.
Seeing the size of Drnogame's army as compared to his own,
Krono had the shit scared out of him and from 3 gateways, started clicking the high templar icon
like there was no tommorrow (or were they already there?) Why Drnogame didn't
decide to march his troops right over to his weak foe's base I have no idea. Maybe he clicked the wrong
spot on the minimap, because they went right to the starting location just above Krono's
main.
Krono, by coincidence, decided that he needed
to run away as fast as possible since his main would fall soon, so he tried
to use a shuttle and run a few probes away, but they flew right smack into
marine fire. Guess what happened to the shuttle? Kaboom.
However, this did buy Krono time for one last bastion of hope.
No, it's not the miracle sex you pervert. It's called high templar. 4 newly created high
templar now had enough energy to cast a few storms and cause some havoc on
the unsuspecting terran infantry.
The picture on the left is the effect of what
happens with the first storm ONLY. The animation on the right shows the real damage.
Beautiful isn't it? The sight of all those marines going down to psionic storm.
Casualties probably range about 3 control groups of marines lost. Maybe even 4.
I don't know for sure. But the thing is, Drnogame successfully
sacrificed his men to kill all of Krono's templar.
To make matters worse, Drnogame also has 2 control groups of
marine reinforcements en route to Krono's main.
Drnogame obliterated Krono's base.
During the attack, Drnogame brought along an SCV to repair
the escorting science vessels. Now, this SCV wasn't so good at repairing, but he sure coud fight.
With the help of a D-matrix from a nearby science vessel, his fusion cutters
split a dark templar to pieces and was awarded the great medal of honor.
So this is the end. Right? Right??! Well, not quite, because Krono"
snuck away a shuttle with probes to the topright island and began building corsair from 3 stargates
and cannons like a madman! Sensing that Krono has
expanded to an island, Drnogamestarts comsatting all the islands and finds him.
